Is this the best candy ever? Or did some fool just drop his Hershey bar in a peanut butter jar?

How does it taste? If you're OK with the beer as is, it's done, regardless of the numbers.

+1... I'd say drink the bad boy.

You haven't lived until you have taken a large mixing spoon, scooped up a big glob of peanut butter, and covered it in M&M's.

Pitch brett?

Ugh... I'm going to remember this the next time I judge sours in a competition.... you can't just fix any broken beer by adding Brett.... or can you!?!?  So the question on my mind will always be, was this an intentional Brett beer, or was the brewer simply trying to fix a beer that sucked!?

Yes and no. Some defects brett will fix and turn into a great beer. A high FG is an easy fix for brett if that's the only problem but brett can't fix everything and sometimes the way it "fixes" defects in a beer is not entirely pleasant or needs a long time before it becomes pleasant. I once blended two beers together in which one had brett and the other had a lot of roasted grain. Brett took some of that roasted character and turned it into a burnt rubber flavor. It took about two years for the burnt rubber to phase out. Then it was excellent.
